What are some ways to
develop evidence of student
achievement in non-tested
grades and subjects?
Three Approaches to the Challenge
Measures of Collective Performance
Other Assessments
Student Learning Objectives
Measures of Collective Performance
School-wide growth measures
(like the PA Report Card)
Standardized assessments used to
measure the performance of groups of
teachers (like program evaluation)
Other Assessments
Standardized end of course assessments,
formative-benchmark-unit assessments
Teacher-developed assessments of
student learning or growth
Student Learning Objectives
Content- and grade/course-specific measurable
learning objectives that can be used to
document student learning over a defined
period of time
Can be written to measure growth or mastery
What are other states/schools using
for non-tested grades and subjects?

What is PA planning to do
?
Student Learning
Objectives with
Model Assessments
Why this approach?
The “other assessment” approach causes
narrowing of curriculum and is not financially
sustainable.
The “measures of collective performance” are
already included in the formula (required by
Race to the Top) and do not offer NTGS
teachers an opportunity to be evaluated on
what they actually teach.
SLOs that don’t describe the assessment
protocol tend to lack a true learning focus.
The Approach
• Provide a method for teachers to write SLOs.
• Provide a method for teachers to design
assessments appropriate to the SLO.
• Provide piloted and peer-reviewed models on the
PDE SAS website.
• Provide professional development appropriate to
SLO development.

LO (Learning Objective)
(SLO) Student Learning Objective
Students will develop independent performance skills appropriate to
positive musical contribution to a choral performing ensemble.
SLO Rationale
 Why was this objective chosen?
 How do you know it is a worthy area of focus?
 What are the transfer goals?
 Based upon this objective, how will students be able to
independently demonstrate their learning?
The quality and musicality of a choir is dependent on each individual
as a contributor to the collective whole. Individual assessment
informs each students of his/her progress and contribution as an
independent musician and (hopefully) as a life-long participant in
choral singing.
Curriculum Framework Connection
 What are the big ideas, essential questions, concepts and
competencies (as identified by PA’s Curriculum Framework) to
be measured?
The skills, techniques, elements and principles of the
Big Ideas
arts can be learned, studied, refined and practiced.
Essential Why is it important to be able to create, recreate and
Questions perform music independently?
While much of the school-based musical experience
happens within a group, it is also important for people
Concepts
to be able to create, recreate, rehearse and perform
music independently.
Demonstrate the ability to independently create,
Competencies recreate, rehearse and perform musical works and
explain why this is important.
Standards Alignment
 Based upon the big ideas, essential questions, concepts and competencies
selected, identify the content standards that are aligned to this objective.
Academic Standards for the Arts and Humanities
9.1 Production, Performance and Exhibition of Dance, Music, Theatre and Visual
Arts
A. Know and use the elements and principles of each art form to create works
in the arts and humanities
Music elements: • duration • intensity • pitch • timbre
Music principles: • composition • form • genre • harmony • rhythm •
texture
B. Recognize, know, use and demonstrate a variety of appropriate arts
elements and principles to produce, review and revise original works in the
arts.
Music: • sing • play an instrument • read and notate music • compose and
arrange •improvise
C. Integrate and apply advanced vocabulary to the arts forms
Data and Targets Used to Establish the SLO
Awareness of student level of preparedness
 What, if any, are the course or grade prerequisites?
 What is shown by the current (baseline) data?
 Which students may need targeted objectives (e.g. students with
IEPs, diverse learners, etc.)?
There are no prerequisites for this class. No audition is required, but
early screening to assign students to a choral singing part can provide
the teacher with some baseline information. Students may have
previously been in a choral ensemble class, providing a previous year
summative assessment. In addition to information provided by IEPs,
students with singing difficulties (pitch matching, speech problems,
rhythm problems, and vocal production problems) may need
objectives tailored to the nature of the difficulty. Four students with
pitch match/tonality problems are identified for this SLO.
Targets
 What is the expected outcome (goal) by the end of the
designated instructional period (i.e., year, semester, course
length, etc.)?
 Using student baseline data, how many differentiated
targets/goals are needed?
 Are the targets ambitious yet realistic?
Each student will demonstrate an ability to sing his/her choral part
independently in an unaccompanied setting, exhibiting mastery
and/or growth in such components as tone quality, expression and
style, phrasing, pitch, intonation, rhythm, diction and articulation.
Assessment/Performance Task
Assessment/Performance Task Name
Choral Music-Individual Student Performance
Description of the Assessment/Performance Task
 Describe the assessment/performance task that will be used to measure the
learning objective (LO).
 Consider any products or artifacts that will be gathered as part of the data
collection process.
 Identify the developer of the assessments/performance task used (e.g., teachermade, district-developed, commercial, etc.).
Each member of the high school choir will individually perform a teacherchosen unaccompanied excerpt from the concert music (repertoire). These
will be recorded by having students sing either into a microphone or within
the visual and audio range of a video camera. Music selected for the second
assessment will be of an equivalent grade level, as adjudicated by
professional music organizations.
Assessment/Performance Task Objectives Rationale
 Describe how the assessment/performance task authentically reflects the
learning objective (LO).
 How is this assessment/performance task a reliable and valid measure of
student mastery or growth aligned with expected outcomes and goals?
 How does the assessment/performance task measure the ability of students
to independently apply what they have learned?
 How is the assessment/performance task free of bias?
 How do the assessment/performance task outcomes inform instruction?
 How does the assessment/performance task align with grade, school and
district level curricular goals?
Individual assessments are the only way of ascertaining student progress
within the context of the larger performance ensemble. Assessments of
this type can both be used as an on-going process through formative
assessments (making the necessary pedagogical adjustments in
instruction and learning, for both the teacher and the student), as well as
summative assessments in the final stages of concert preparation.
Growth or
Mastery
Does this
assessment/

Growth and Mastery
Administration of the Assessment/Performance Task
Frequency of Assessment/Performance Task Administration
 How often and when is this assessment/performance task administered?
 If measuring growth, are multiple assessment windows in place?
Students will be assessed at the end of the second quarter and again
at the end of the fourth quarter.
Resources Required
 What unique or specific equipment, technologies, or resources are needed to
complete this assessment/performance task?
 Current choir repertoire, consisting of an eclectic representation of
music from various styles, levels of difficulty, and written in various
harmonic approaches (homophonic, polyphonic, syllabic, etc.).
 Each student will be given an assessment rubric included in their folder,
in order to be familiar with the standards and various levels of
proficiency.
 Basic recording device in order to record student assessments.
Adaptations for Diverse Learners and/or Students with Disabilities
 What adaptations built into the assessment/performance task are
needed assist diverse learners and/or students with disabilities?
Students may be diagnosed/identified as possessing emotional or mental
disorders such as ADHD, ADD, & MR; requiring instructional and
assessment adaptations, according to the requirements of IDEA and the
student’s IEP. Adaptations may include factors such as: the student’s
comfort level in singing alone; student ability to learn, comprehend or
retain subject matter; or to perform certain passages with rhythmic or
melodic accuracy when singing alone.
Personnel
 Can this assessment/performance task be administered by an
equivalent peer? (If not, please explain.)
 Does a district policy exist with regard to assessment/performance task
administration?
This assessment could be administered by an equivalent peer; it can also
be administered by the student.
Data Collection
Measuring Student Progress/Preparation
 How was baseline data collected? (If baseline data was not collected,
please explain.)
 Can baseline data be compared with the results of this
assessment/performance task?
Assessment from the 2nd quarter will establish baseline data for the
4th quarter.
Data Collection
 In what format will data be collected (e.g., database, graphed, portfolio,
etc.)?
 Is a pre-post test being used? (If so, please describe.)
 How frequently will data be collected?
Data will be collected from listening to the recordings and notating
the level of student performance on the attached rubric. This process
will be administered twice; the first will be considered a pre-test.
Rubrics and Scoring Scales
 How will individual student growth or mastery be determined
(defined and scored) using this assessment/performance task?
Include the specific rubric/scoring scale that will be used.
 Does the rubric and/or scoring scale correlate with the
assessment/performance task?
Students will be assessed using the following rubric:

Data Interpretation
 How will the assessment/performance task results be interpreted in the same
way across equivalent peers?
 Is there a reliable and valid scoring and interpretive process (i.e., state
developed, district-based, commercial, standardized, etc.) that is associated
with the assessment/performance task? If so, please describe.
An equivalent peer could adjudicate student performance using this rubric by
listening to the recordings. This process has a history of reliability, as found
through the CT state common assessments. (ctcurriculum.org)
